Associated Regional Chronologies for the Ancient Near East and the Eastern Mediterranean: Glyptic & Art History

The ARCANE project aims at the construction of a reliable and up-to-date chronology of archaeological objects and contexts of the ancient Near East within the third pre-Christian millennium. The Glyptic and Art-History volume will result in an updated chronology of monuments of art and primarily seals and seal impressions, functioning as a reference scale for chronological constructs resting on archeological finds. Petr Charvat teaches at the University of Pilsen. His chief interest is the socially engineered exchange of goods in the beginnings of state societies.
